Rajasthan into the plate final

January 27, 2006

Powered by a commendable bowling effort by unknown Pankaj Singh taking 10 in the match, supported by Sanjay Gill, Rajasthan out classed Orissa. So Rajasthan gets promoted to division 1 with the effort from stars who belonged to other states - like Gill (Delhi) and Ajay Jadeja.

A draw if both captains agree

I had brought this up in this post a few days into the 1st test. Rudi Koertzen agrees to an extent. He says:

There is nothing wrong if the ICC considers a change in laws that allows such Test matches to be called off at tea with the consent of both captains when a last-day result is not possible.

The lowdown

I am loving this new weekly column on cricinfo. The profiled Ashwell Prince and Brett Dorey earlier. It is now time for India’s R.P.Singh. RP concentrates on line and length and that is a quality which isn’t found much in modern fast/swing bowlers. I have been impressed by whatever little I have seen of the guy. Hopefully he can swing India to many glories in the future years, developing a yard of pace in time.
